  • Time to get my garage in order.

    I posted this earlier on the Garage Journal forums.

    I bought my house last summer but I've been too busy with a new child and getting other things in order to bother with the garage. So far it has been good enough to just get both vehicles in there.

    Well, things are about to start changin' It started last week with the purchase of a new tool cabinet from Harbor Freight. I've gotten as many tools loaded in there as I can at this point and I still need more room. But it's a good start. I also found a wall locker on the side of the road. I'm going to have it sand blasted and powder coated next week to match the new tool box. Then I'm going to install some shelves and store my higher end tools in there.

    Then it'll be time to build a new workbench. I'm planning to hand build a new Roubo workbench like the one you can see here: http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/...ed-roubo-bench

    So now with the pictures:

    At the very least, I can get both vehicles in there. It takes great feats of daring to back that truck in. I have get the rear bumper within 2 inches of the back wall or the garage door won't shut.



    Old and busted next to the new hotness. My old toolbox has already found a new home.


    This is the wall locker I'm going to have stripped and powder coated next week. Just a little surface rust but otherwise in great condition.


    The new hotness in its new home. Obviously I've got a lot of cleanup to do here.


    I'll be posting updates as they happen..

    Love the locker. I picked up a storage cabinet from a farm sale once I wish I could find more like it. It appears to be some kind of army surplus as it is OD green inside. I need to take a picture of it and search around. I would like to have a couple more.

      Yea, IMO the locker is a real score. One of the neighbors threw it out. I was thinking of having it powder coated black, then do the inside in walnut to make a minibar with a mini-fridge. But the fact is that I just don't drink that much.

          I am in the process of doing the same thing...remodeling my garage.
          I purchased the same toolbox from HF as well.
          Are you going to epoxy coat the floor?

          If you don't already have good lighting, get you some of these...

          I just put 4 of them up in my garage and it made a world of difference in there.

                  I still dislike you due to that clamp deal you got several years ago.
